Watch on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsMayq8sL-U
Long time no see!
I don't really know how to explain this, but I hope it keeps you entertained for a good minute or two!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
feel da beat.
before ya know it you waste lots a time to look at it XD.
BTW: tetra's bend over somehow looks hot o.O.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
It was entertaining for the few minutes that I watched it. The animations are smooth and you did a good job with the color palette. Makes you wonder what is going on inside the barrel....
What were the differences that occur each time through the loop? The first time through the guy's head explodes. Is the difference in the debris that falls in the background sky while the new barrel is moving over? Just wondering.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
But man what's that thing trying to rise up and that inocent link hand making it underneeth again ¬¬u ... i love Red's entrance to the beat.

"Terminal Jest," a 13-artist exhibit at Delaware County Community College, is all about dark humor and social commentary. Luckily, there's nothing preachy about the work here.
Of course, one of dark humor's best ploys is parody. Nearly half the work here is video parody, the darkest (and one of the best) being Erica Eyres' "Playing Dead." In a 4.5-minute faux documentary, a young woman explains her life project—which is faking her own suicide. The YouTube-like video shows the woman up close as she explains how she wishes to experience suicide without actually doing it. (Kudos to the makeup artist for the highly convincing blood in the bathtub and for the scary, Play-Doh-like scars on the young lady's wrists.) This is a wonderful piece, both tragic and comic.
Not tragic but plenty funny is Jillian McDonald's "Incident at the Pool," a five-minute video that features a group of murderous potted cacti and a lone sunbather. It's a sweet piece that nods to horror movies, but, with its zany slapstick antics, has more in common with the early silent films. Also borrowing from Hollywood, Liz Magic Laser's and Dafna Maimon's 15-minute "Service" shows a spaghetti dinner party where diners' only means of communicating is with lines from disaster movies. The piece is a little long, but well-acted and gripping. There's something about the way the stone-faced guests are chewing and slurping it all up like a table full of sheep.
With plot to burn, Guy Richards Smit's video series, "Grossmalerman," is a send-up of a fictional artist and his fictional New York gallery. The delusional but successful artist, manipulative dealer and smart female gallery assistants are all stock types. The most interesting character is Neil, a Joseph Beuys-ian friend of the artist who is hiding from the police in Central Park and living on raw squirrel and pigeon. For someone not attuned to the cynical, art insider's world view, "Grossmalerman" would be a fun new take on things. But skewering the art world is not new.
Julien Bismuth's video, "Dead Air Comedy," is neither dark nor light but is definitely the most difficult piece to get through in the show: Its 46-minute length and its subject—language—is a little dry. Basically, a stand-up comedian tells really lame jokes, which he sometimes fobs in delivery (a joke about a lesbian, whose punchline is eucalyptus bush is particularly cringe-worthy). This too-long-for-gallery-viewing video should have screened in a theater preceded by an introduction and followed by a Q&A. First question, why does it need to be so long?
Of the nonvideo works, Steven and Billy Blaise Dufala's "Dumpster Coffin" is the best, both for its complex message about throw-away people but also for its wonderful sculptural presence, all rusty on the outside and padded pink satin on the inside. The piece's location, near a window in an L-shaped hallway, makes it all the more poignant for being almost overlooked in the noisy flow of people moving between classes.
And then there's that one work that tends to rub people the wrong way. Here, placed outside the gallery in several public locations are lithographs by George Horner that read "Satan is happy with your progress." Most were ripped up, spat on or stolen. But the show goes on, reparations will be made to Horner and dark humor will continue to do what it does best: Provoke.

Ashley Benson Confirms She's Dating Ryan Good: He's "One of the Strongest People I've Met"
Ashley Benson and her ex Ryan Good have been spotted out and about for the past few months, and now, the Pretty Little Liars star is finally addressing those dating rumors. In the March 2014 issue of Cosmopolitan, the cover girl confirms she's back with her stylish beau, telling the magazine, "Ryan is one of the strongest people I've met, so grounded and such a positive influence on people." She also shed light on their breakup. "We took a break because it was so hard," she said. "I work 20 hour days, so I'm always gone. So a lot of your relationship is on the phone and iChatting and trying to catch up." Ash and Ryan — who is perhaps better known for his stint as Justin Bieber's swagger coach — split last year after more than a year of dating. Ashley told Seventeen that she was "too young to be in a serious relationship," adding, "Work is my boyfriend." Now, the 24-year-old is ready to give this love another shot, and we couldn't be happier for the couple. Are you happy to see Ashley and Ryan back together? Sound off in the comments! Catch the next episode of Pretty Little Liars on Tuesday, January 28, 2014 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC Family.

Spoke with APR at H2O and they are working hard on a tune to turn off the ESP in addition to the ASR. Fingers crossed.
The fact that you can't turn off ESP has kept me from purchasing an R.
The first time it is publicly available, either from a tuner for purchasing, or via Vag Com, I will purchase a Golf R within a month. Guaranteed.
Lets hope it makes its way out soon.

I used to live in Burlington for 2 years when I was younger.
And there is nothing screwy about what I posted. I don't want electronic intervention when I drive, simple as that. My GTI can get the ass out on command and makes it very entertaining to drive, but the non defeatable ESP kicks in and ruins all the fun.
Not to mention with higher HP applications, it comes into play with simple throttle usage.
Light rain yesterday... nice film of oil, got all 4 loose in 2nd AND 3rd... nice long slide, no esp kicking in.
In many ways then this car is like herpes. Great fun catching it but not so much fun living with it every day. - Jeremy Clarkson

I don't know if this would help or not but... Can we get any info from a 2013 gti and have that help figuring any of this out. From what I've heard they have the ability to fully disable traction control. Again I have no idea if this will help or not, just a thought.
I've read almost 80% of this thread and thus far I've come to the conclusion that I am still confused.
Is there a defeat available by unplugging the ABS fuse?
Has anyone successfully done this?
Are the side-effects simply lights on the dash, no abs, and no ESP?

so all-in-all what ive gathered from this lengthy thread is that the USA finally got an awd MANUAL golf but cant use it to its fullest ability because of the ESP?

I've been following this issue and saw this posted today:
I did a quick search of the forum and couldn't find anything like this. Is this a hoax, or really someone who's defeated ESC?
Bad at searching then:
I drive a 2012 VW Golf R / United Motorsport
Deep regrets, much thanks.
BTW, Google search for Golf R Stability control turns up this thread. If it's sorted, good news.
Has anyone tried this?

Taking trolling to a whole new level, GAGA style, kinda like gangnam style, but less cool
I can defeat both with the long press of the button on my 12 R with 24k miles. They reset when the car is restarted. I bought the car used and assumed that it was never tweaked or tuned but based in what i've seen in this thread someone must have used a vag-com to disable it.

Finally, garlic gets its time in the sun: both roasted and sauteed garlic, married in a mix of rich broth, thyme, and cream for a delicious Roasted Garlic Chicken Soup
Carrots, potatoes, fennel, and bacon: a strange combination that makes for an incredible side-dish. You'll want seconds of your veggies!
Have you been neglecting one of the two major breakfast food groups? Belgian waffles are easy to make, freeze well, and delicious

Not your everyday dense, furdgey brownies. Still chocolatey and loaded with nuts, but these are light as air and flavored with honey--perfect to woo your valentine!
The classic Spanish rice: paella! In this rendition, there's big flavors like lamb, red peppers, chickpeas, saffron, and rosemary.
Chili con Carne--beef, slowly simmered in a highly spiced blend of peppers, tomato, chocolate, beer, and beans.
Orange cake, orange buttercream, marmalade, and candied citrus layers all come together sort of like a creamsicle in decadent cake form.
If you bake, you undoubtedly have vanilla extract in your pantry. Why not make your own? Its cheap, simple, and tastes so much better!
In this Indian korma, lamb is stewed in a spiced curry of almond, garlic, ginger, and cream to yield tender, deliciously crusted lamb.
You don't need a special occasion to enjoy Devil's Food Cake filled with Praline Buttercream topped with Fudge Frosting. Just a fork will do
Pizza, topped with pumpkin sauce, beef, squash, pine nuts, leeks, sundried tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese. Different and delicious

Everything you could want in a biscuit: tender, flaky, buttery, and flavored with aged cheddar, chives, cayenne, and buttermilk.

Lacy, Ed: Dead End. v1. 19 Jan 09
This title was released under a Creative Commons License with a link to the book here. There is additional acknowledgement AND a link again placed at the end of the book. Book was acquired from Munseys, BUT REFORMATTED BY ME TO MY SPECIFICATIONS.
http://www.munseys.com/book/28873/De...l_How_You_Live ____________________________________________ I don't have a plot for this title, but I do have this information about Ed Lacy, from this website below, from which I quote the following two paragraphs: http://www.mysteryfile.com/Lacy/Profile.html "Famed New York Times critic Anthony Boucher consistently praised the Lacy projects. Welsh critic and writer John Williams also admired Room to Swing as a fine, taut piece of crime writing. Jon L. Breen selected the same title as one of the twenty-five best PI novels ever. Ed Lacy also has his detractors. Jacques Barzun brushed off Lacy who wrote two dozen stories on the tough and sexy side, one of which Room to Swing (1957) received a prize. Barzun neglects to mention the prize was an Edgar. Sad to report, Ed Lacys native New York City shows none of his books in its public library online catalog. "Within the academy, opinions about Lacy seem mixed. Matthew J. Bruccoli has sought to reprint Lacys fiction for the New Black Mask series and cites The Best That Ever Did It as possibly his favorite read. Alan Wald ventures an opinion that such Lacy books as In Black and Whitey or Room to Swing might well inspire Ph.D. dissertations. At the same time, Ray B. Browne has written Lacy is a run-of-the-plot writer with a talent for fast, racy hard-knuckled plots and for language that reads easily and is worth spending a small amount of money or time to obtain and an hour or two in the reading. Ed Lacys papers (seven boxes of mostly galleys and manuscripts) are housed at Boston Universitys Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center." If you enjoy this title, I have 13 additional Ed Lacy titles available here on MobileRead, including the one discussed above. Like all the books I assemble on MobileRead, this too was assembled to reflect human intervention and artistic judgment. I hope you enjoy it. Don |

Studio 6A

Sculpture, installation, mixed media
Berndnaut Smilde is interested in transitional spaces; ruins and building-sites that are in-between states of completion. This interest also branches out into the possibility of how a given space might be between states of construction and deconstruction. His daily surroundings are motives that are used to create narrative-situations, within which multiple layers of meaning collide. Smilde uses construction materials and simulated objects, such as photo prints, artificial turf and polystyrene decorations, that are often used to upgrade an average household. This simulation provides a friction to spatial narratives in such a way as to parallel reality in-between reality and representation. Smilde is interested in the moment of friction that brings uncertainty and in such situations it is not possible to determine what exactly is going on.
Recent exhibitions by Smilde include MOOT, Nottingham, UK, 2007; Re-iconisatie, Collectie Marcel, NP3, Groningen, NL, 2007; One, & the other painting, W139/basement, Amsterdam, NL, 2007; Focus & diversity, Frank Mohr Institute, Groningen, NL, 2007 and Your Life Is Now A Little Shorter, My House Projects, Derby, UK, 2007.

Acid 70 cracked
I am very dissapointed with a new Acid 70 dram I bought. After using it e few times in Miami--READ NO WIND--It cracked and consequently dilaminated. Neither the store, Water-Play, nor the manufacturer was willing to replace the board arguing it was right after the warranty was over.
But the board was actually new. Does anybody now how to fix this serious crack??? |

Review: Paired Quantitative Blood Cultures Most Accurately Detect Intravascular Device–related Bloodstream Infection
.ACP Journal Club. 2005 Nov-Dec;143:77.
Safdar N, Fine JP, Maki DG. Meta-analysis: methods for diagnosing intravascular device-related bloodstream infection. Ann Intern Med. 2005;142:451-66.
Which tests are most accurate for diagnosing intravascular device (IVD)–related bloodstream infection?
Data sources: MEDLINE (1966 to July 2004), Current Contents (1993 to July 2004), the Cochrane Library, conference abstracts, and bibliographies of relevant reviews.
Study selection and assessment: English-language studies of diagnostic tests for IVD-related bloodstream infection compared with a reference standard that provided data for calculating sensitivity and specificity. Studies assessing the utility of blood cultures drawn from venous or arterial catheters to test for true bacteremia as opposed to contamination, and studies of IVD colonization rather than IVD-related bloodstream infection were excluded. Quality assessment of individual studies included design, participant recruitment method, blinding of test interpretation, and presence of biases.
Outcomes: Sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios, and the equally weighted least-squares Q* statistic (corresponds to the upper left-most point on the summary receiver-operating characteristic curve, where sensitivity equals specificity).
Main results
51 studies on 8 frequently used diagnostic tests were included: qualitative catheter segment culture, semiquantitative catheter segment culture, quantitative catheter segment culture, IVD-drawn qualitative blood culture, IVD-drawn quantitative blood culture, paired quantitative peripheral and IVD-drawn blood cultures, acridine orange leukocyte cytospin testing of IVD-drawn blood, and differential time to positivity of concomitant qualitative IVD-drawn and peripheral blood cultures. Diagnostic performances of each test are in the Table. The most accurate tests were the paired quantitative blood cultures, IVD-drawn quantitative blood culture, and the acridine orange leukocyte cytospin test.
Paired quantitative peripheral and IVD-drawn blood cultures have the best diagnostic performance for detecting intravascular device–related bloodstream infection. Most other diagnostic tests have acceptable sensitivity and specificity. Qualitative catheter segment culture has low specificity.

Diagnostic characteristics of tests for intravascular device (IVD)–related bloodstream infection*
*Diagnostic terms defined in Glossary; LRs calculated from data in article. Overall sensitivity and specificity were estimated using a random-effects model.
Bacteremia remains one of the most serious complications related to the use of intravascular catheters. Determining which patients' catheters are the source of their bacteremia is challenging without the removal of the device. As a result, 80% of catheters removed for suspicion of infection are found not to be the source and thus were removed unnecessarily (1, 2). For this reason, attention has been focused on methods to diagnose catheter-related bloodstream infection (CR-BSI) without catheter removal. This is especially important for patients with long-term catheters who have poor vascular access.
Several methods exist to detect CR-BSI. In this meta-analysis, Safdar and colleagues have presented the best tests. They showed that paired quantitative blood cultures are the most accurate method to diagnosis CR-BSI in situ for long-term catheters. However, most other methods studied showed an acceptable sensitivity and specificity (> 75%) and high negative predictive value (up to 99% in most studies). In addition, the positive predictive value of all tests increased with a high pretest probability of having a CR-BSI. Not all studies in the meta-analysis excluded patients with low pretest probability of CR-BSI, thus the performance of some tests may be underestimated when applied only to patients with suspected CR-BSI.
The paired quantitative blood culture is not a test without drawbacks. Some organisms do not survive the lysis-centrifugation process (e.g., Streptococcus pneumoniae). It is also labor-intensive at the laboratory level, requiring several manipulations, and therefore the potential exists for contamination. It is expensive and not widely used in hospitals with heavy workloads and few technical staff members.
A practical approach to diagnosing CR-BSI in situ while taking advantage of the differential in organism load between the catheter and peripheral blood is the differential time to positivity. Most automated blood culture systems continuously monitor growth and now report positive readings every 10 to 20 minutes. If the differential time between the blood drawn through the catheter and the blood drawn peripherally is > 2 hours for each to turn positive, it is a sign that the organism load is higher in the catheter and that the catheter is probably the source of bacteremia. Using this method instead of quantitative cultures adds no additional laboratory cost, has similar sensitivity albeit lower specificity, and uses a blood culture system that is already in place at most centers.

Seven values help me sort out the temporal from the eternal, and relate to both with my heart in the right place.
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matthew 6:19-21).
Of all Jesus' words, these are some of the most provocative: They constantly call me up with that penetrating question, "Where does my heart live?"
As a child, I didn't give much thought to the difference between earthly treasures and heavenly ones. Yet I benefited from life among people who were learning to value what God does, and they — my parents, grandparents and others — set an inspiring example. I can point to seven values they held that I want to make my own, values that help me sort out the temporal from the eternal and relate to both with my heart in the right place.
Growing up, I lived in a small apartment adjoining my grandparents' house. Our family is a large, sprawling clan, but the house was never closed to those outside the bloodlines. Sunday dinners at Grandma's included aunts, uncles and cousins but were also open to church friends, immigrants new to the city, university students, employees of my grandfather's, and many others. My parents have likewise kept an open home. We kids have always known we could bring friends home and see them welcomed, fed and given a safe place.
According to Scripture, hospitality is a defining mark of a Christian home: "Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality" (Romans 12:13), "Show hospitality to one another without grumbling" (1 Peter 4:9), "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares" (Hebrews 13:2). God gives us material gifts, not so we can hold them in closed hands, but so we can pour them into the lives of others. When we do, our hearts will dwell not in the material things but in the people we're blessing, and more importantly, on God who is the "founder of the feast."
There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches (Proverbs 13:7, KJV).
Most of us remember Ebenezer Scrooge, that paragon of penny-pinching, the iconic miser who sat in a dark, cold house wheezing with joy over his money and unwilling to part with a cent until a kindly spirit called Charles Dickens sent four ghostly visitors his way. Scrooge was rich and had absolutely nothing, but he didn't realize that until he began to give.
As a child I was happy enough to read the Scriptures about giving; I didn't have any money, so they didn't apply to me. My family had almost no money most of the time, though we did give faithfully at church, and we shared with others when they needed it. Now that I'm older, the issue has become personal. Where is my heart in relation to my money?
As Proverbs indicates, cheerful giving enacts a miracle of alchemy. When I give money, my affections are transformed and transferred: from cash to people, from finances to the good money can do. My heart goes to the mission field, to the needy neighbors, to the work of God. Financial generosity depletes my treasures on earth on the one hand, but it can build treasures in heaven on the other.
Self-discipline is the least glamorous and the most necessary of all character qualities, and used in the service of God, it can do a lot to keep our hearts focused. Self-discipline is developed in thousands upon thousands of small decisions, in the forming of habits and routines, in the denial of impulses when necessary. It can help us remember that life has a greater purpose. We are not just free agents floating around in the world. We are laborers in God's vineyard, soldiers in His army, disciples in His school.
Good habits prevent us from getting tangled in the consequences of laziness, keep us moving forward and give us time to spend with God. They free us to pursue that which is truly important. Self-discipline is painful to form, yet this value is key to living out the rest of the seven. So I'm trying.
When I was a child, Dad decided to take us through the books of Moses in our family devotions. Rather than just reading through these dense works, we delved. Dad asked questions which few of us ventured to answer, yet he kept at it. We hauled out pictures and diagrams of the tabernacle. We examined symbolism, complex moral questions, and the relationship of God to people and culture. Dad offered jelly beans to the most verbal of the family students.
The Bible was and is without question the most important book in our house. We discussed it around the dinner table. We talked about current events in the light of eternal truth. Though family devotions often went over our heads, there was value for us beyond the jelly beans: We could see that truth was big, deep and important.
Second Thessalonians 2:10 makes the sad pronouncement that some "refused to love the truth and so be saved." My parents passed on love for the truth; it's up to me to receive that love and act on it — always. It's essential to a heart that dwells in heavenly places.
Matthew Henry once said, "Those who keep themselves pure in times of common impurity, God will keep safe in times of common calamity."
Purity is more than behaving well sexually. Purity of life is found in sincerity, in honesty with ourselves and others, and in love for the Word and all that is holy. A pure heart is "safe" in times of common calamity because it's fixed on the eternal. Annie Dillard, in For the Time Being, wrote that purity is for all of us, for now:
There were no formerly heroic times, and there was no formerly pure generation. There is no one here but us chickens, and so it has always been.... It is a weakening and discoloring idea that rustic people knew God personally once upon a time — or even knew selflessness or courage or literature — but that it is too late for us. In fact, the absolute is available to everyone in every age. There never was a more holy age than ours, and never a less. Purity's time is always now.
To have treasure in heaven is to value eternal things. Next to our love for God, nothing is more important than love for others, no matter how they live. Jesus' death on the cross calls us to see sin as abhorrent and sinners as beloved. Of His own heart, He said, "What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing" (Luke 15:4-5).
I'm as proud and judgmental as the next person (maybe more), and I find it hard to love people who are so obviously, well, sinners. Two things help me with this: First, I love them more when I'm honest about myself. Jesus went to the cross for me and my sins; how can I be hardened to others? Second, it also helps me when I stop fixating on outward things. Not only does this keep me from approving hypocrites, it also helps me love people more when I learn to look past exteriors.
James 1:17 declares, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights." Those good and perfect gifts include things here; perhaps ironically, the best way to keep our treasure in heaven is not to become ascetics, but to enjoy the gifts. We honor God by pursuing the passions and interests He gives us: When we become artists, scientists, parents, animal trainers, gardeners, carpenters and academics.
The key is to understand these things as gifts and give our love back to the Giver — not to the gifts themselves.
As I walk with God on this earth, my desire is to settle my heart in high and holy places. These seven values, learned from others who have walked with God before me, serve as checks and balances. They remind me, when I'm beginning to lower my sights, that my heart has a better home above.

"Robin Hood: Media Creature," 22-25 October 2009full name / name of organization: International Association for Robin Hood Studies - University of Rochester, USA contact email: email@example.com This conference solicits contributions to our understanding of the perennial outlaw hero, and the traditions surrounding his stories, from as wide a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives as possible. The conference requests proposals that expand our knowledge of medieval and early modern historical studies, literary criticism, folklore, musicology and music practice, children's literature, cultural studies, anthropology, film and media studies, performance art and oral recitations, art history, literary history and theory, and philosophy. While our historical understanding of Robin Hood inevitably depends on literary and archival records, even these cultural memories have been shaped by the media that contain them. This Seventh Biennial Conference will feature a series of events that highlight Robin Hood's status as a creature of the media. These include the screening of a pristine 35mm tinted print, newly restored by MOMA and the George Eastman House, of Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood (1922). A live orchestra will play the score reconstructed by the renowned musicologist Gillian Anderson (Bologna), who will conduct. The earliest surviving film about the outlaw hero, Robin Hood (Éclair America, 1912) will also receive its East Coast premiere in a recently restored 35mm print. Singers and musicians from the Ohio Light Opera and the Eastman School of Music will perform a program of Robin Hood operettas, centered on Reginald de Koven's Robin Hood (1891). There will also be a recital of early lute music by Grammy-Award winner Paul O'Dette, and a major exhibition of hundreds of rare and unusual books, illustrations, posters, and artifacts, including a cache of previously unseen production stills from the Fairbanks' Robin Hood. cfp categories: american bibliography_and_history_of_the_book childrens_literature cultural_studies_and_historical_approaches ecocriticism_and_environmental_studies film_and_television gender_studies_and_sexuality international_conferences medieval popular_culture theatre twentieth_century_and_beyond

Ericsson and Kindl stood out as bad even when everyone else played so poor last night. Helm is sure fast, just wish he could put the puck in the net when he gets there. White worked hard all night, even down 6-0 he was hustling and making plays from his knees when knocked to the ice. Hudler is a shooter! Both his goals looked like they were going in when they were still on his tape. Granted the second was into an empty net behind Price, but when he got the rebound it wasn't a deflection or knock in, everything slowed down, Huds controlled the puck and placed it in the back of the net. He needs to shoot more, but I'm just glad I got to see Detroit at least score last night! Really bummed never even got to see Howard at our end of the ice but was almost happy he was pulled and spared the rest of that game. Hope he enjoys the long weekend with his family in Ottawa, has a blast in the All Star Game and comes back top of form ready to start a road winning streak!
Bell Centre was a great place to watch a game (except this one) and my daughter and I still managed to have a great time. Lots of Detroit fans there and never felt out of place. Got ragged on a little during the first intermission, but they were speaking French so I had no idea what they were saying to me! At 6-0 nobody said anything, almost like they felt sorry for us wearing Redwings gear and having to put up such a poor effort from our team. Smoked meat sandwiches were great and the Rickards Dark washed them down well! At least walking out I knew we were still tops in points and know we'll finish the season strong! Go Wings!!

- //Yellowbirds
Two particularly strong and somewhat abstract notions come to mind with Yellowbirds' second album, Songs from the Vanished Frontier. One is that this is what you could perfectly describe as timeless music. It sounds like something you could have unearthed while digging through the big box of vinyl records someone left behind, while never sounding particularly retro. The closest it gets are the rare, few string sections which have a lushness reminiscent of a lot of '70s soft rock, but even that's simply reminiscent rather than a clear connection. The second is that this should be labelled under "Lazy Sunday Music". The mid-tempo pace, the endless waves of reverb and the hazy dreaminess of it all feel like they were born to soundtrack days when time stands still and montages of killing time doing nothing at all.
Frontman Sam Cohen has described Songs from the Vanished Frontier a more cohesive, carefully constructed album than its predecessor, 2011's The Colour. That's one way of saying "calmer" – where The Colour was through and through an album where a young songwriter went a bit wild with his imagination, Songs from the Vanished Frontier spends less time bouncing around. It doesn't really let loose or deviate from its general sound. Cohen, draped in reverb and backed by a solid even if unexceptional band, calmly sings along to songs somewhat reminiscent of Sparklehorse at their happiest. Most songs move along in a similar pace hovers over the border of everything supporting each other and everything blending into one big mush. For all it's worth, it's a very pleasant, good listen – Yellowbirds have taken a step to the right direction.
The one thing that lets Songs from the Vanished Frontier down somewhat is that most of it pales in comparison to its brightest moments. The opener "Stop Tonight" is a suave, lightly frolicking tune that takes a step away from the album's general tones and offers a piece of musical sunshine perfect for the summer. The other standout moment is "The Ceiling" which is downright uneffortlessly charming: a simple song built upon a steady rhythm and warm, welcoming vocals which truly takes flight when it introduces a particularly gorgeous string section that takes it to a whole new, lusher stratosphere. These are a duo of very strong tracks that bounce right out of the album's general flow and while it's not in a disruptive way, you do find yourself comparing the rest of the album's admittedly enjoyable songs to them.
Perhaps that's why it's good then that Songs from the Vanished Frontier's greatest part altogether is its strong atmosphere and feel. It's quite hazy, a little lazy and very enjoyable, with warmth and optimism wrapped in a curious kind of pseudo-nostalgic feel. It's the sort of album that might not work all the time, but fits excellently to certain moments.

Justin Bieber's Hot Jumping Beans Video
Justin Bieber loves hot jumping beans. And bacon, pigs' feet, red Kool-Aid and ham. At least he loves them in this spoof of "That Should Be Me," which raises bad lip reading to an art form, transforming the song of heartbreak into an ode to food. Like one wag commented on YouTube, we prefer to believe this is the real version.

hardness.ps Download (200Kb) |
We consider a restricted version of the general Set Covering problem in which each set in the given set system intersects with any other set in at most 1 element. We show that the Set Covering problem with intersection 1 cannot be approximated within a o(logn) factor in random polynomial time unless NP subset of or equal to ZTIME(n(O(loglogn))). We also observe that the main challenge in derandomizing this reduction lies in finding a hitting set for large volume combinatorial rectangles satisfying certain intersection properties. These properties are not satisfied by current methods of hitting set construction. An example of a Set Covering problem with the intersection 1 property is the problem of covering a given set of points in two or higher dimensions using straight lines; any two straight lines intersect in at most one point. The best approximation algorithm currently known for this problem has an approximation factor of theta(log n), and beating this bound seems hard. We observe that this problem is Max-SNP-Hard.

Sexuality & Gender Law Clinic Report Finds Smooth Transition for Gay Soldiers in Other Countries
Report Identifies Key Factors for Transition in Australia, Canada, Israel, and U.K. and Discusses Open Service within U.N. Peacekeeping and NATO forces
Public Affairs, 212-854-2650
New York
, May 13, 2010
Columbia Law School Sexuality and Gender Law Clinic
has submitted a report to Congress showing U.S. allies have managed smooth transitions to having gay and lesbian soldiers serve openly in the military.
Based on extensive research into the experiences of Australia, Canada, Israel, and the United Kingdom, the report, entitled
"Open Service and Our Allies: A Report on the Inclusion of Openly Gay and Lesbian Servicemembers in U.S. Allies' Armed Forces,"
concludes that successful transitions to gays and lesbians serving openly involved no change in barracks housing or bathrooms.
Open Service and Our Allies
debunks many myths about the difficulty of transitioning to open service. The report reinforces that ending the military's exclusion of openly gay servicemembers is not only possible but also beneficial to national security," said
Suzanne B. Goldberg
, Professor and Director of the Sexuality and Gender Law Clinic.
In addition, the report found military performance and unit cohesion improved, and discrimination and harassment did not significantly increase.
"We found that the implementation policies for the transition to open service enabled a smooth transition for our allies. We hope that Congress can use these policies as lessons in how to successfully implement the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell," said Donna Azoulay '10.
The report also shows that educational and training programs on sexual orientation, alongside an openness about the relationships of gay and lesbian military personnel, eased the transition to gays serving in most of these countries.
"This report adds practical, nuts-and-bolts information to the current research on how foreign militaries transitioned to open service," said Swathi Sukumar '10, a Clinic student who co-drafted the report.
Drawing from its documentation of allies' efforts, the report makes four specific recommendations to ease the U.S. military's move to open service:
Educational and training programs that include sexual orientation
Strong anti-discrimination policies that provide a clear procedure for handling grievances
Sexual harassment policies that apply equally to all servicemembers and focus on the inappropriate act rather than the identity of the offender
Military support of gay pride activities and gay and lesbian affinity groups within the military.
"We base our recommendations on what we observed as having worked most effectively for our allies' militaries," said Jantira Supawong '10.
Columbia Law School's Sexuality and Gender Law Clinic addresses cutting-edge issues in sexuality and gender law through litigation, legislation, public policy analysis and other forms of advocacy. Under the guidance of Goldberg, clinic students have worked on a wide range of projects, from constitutional litigation to legislative advocacy to immigration cases, to serve both individual and organizational clients in cases involving issues of sexuality and gender law.

What others should know:If shooting indoors, buy the aux light source. I went from 40% errors to zero with the auxiliary light source installed. Things I liked:Works for me. It is a basic device that does what it needs to do. I use it to know precisely the fps. Using this in combination with the Hawke ballistic charts and program I find this unit to be very helpful. Things I would have changed:Nothing, as for a private person it does what it needs to do, nothing fancy is required. What others should know:If you are serious about airguns knowing the fps speed of a pellet is mandatory. Both for the ballistic curve and downrange energy. This is a no frills fully adequate device that does its job well. Things I liked:Easy to setup and a breeze to operate. Very accurate.

The main house computer runs the heating program and logs
relevant environmental values. This machine is known as
This system has been previously described as running on
Descriptions of

developed in
(20131203:091508) Well,
(20140131:114135) As you can read above, the site has been restored to most of its functionality. I have a blog describing some of the hassles in so doing, which will appear here soon.
We now (from 1 Oct 2013) have a smart meter. I will not at this stage enter into the politics of this, other than to say that it was a great opportunity. I am trying to make the best of the limited data available, but it is not as easy as it might be. Hopefully there will be further displays on this page to show what I have in mind. In the meantime, as mentioned above, the displays shown below will not be updated until the house computer is re-instated.
The daily plot is restricted to the hours of 6am to 6pm, since
input is negligible outside these hours. You will note the
stepped nature of the plot - every 30 minutes the output appears
to change slope, and output appears to limited by some factor
other than insolation. I have not been able to find any
explanation for this - there is nothing in the manufacturer's
manuals, nor their web pages. If anyone can shed any light on
why this occurs,
There is a slight liberty taken with the data in the second
plot. This was due to equipment failure over the summer of
2004/5. Data from the previous summer is substituted to
maintain the shape of the graph.
The daily plot is generated by our house computer, and
updated automatically every 10 minutes. The long-term plot is
generated manually (last update 20111217).
The solar assembly consists of 20x75W panels (1500W total)
feeding into a Trace SW3024 E 3300W inverter system, buffered
by 4 Sonnenschein 6v 330AH gel cells (7920WH). In sunny
weather, the system generates enough power that the meter is
usually spinning backwards! Two of the house power circuits
(including the refrigerator and all computers) are fed from
this inverter, giving about 24 hours of autonomy (at normal
current levels) in the event of grid supply failure. (
Our current electricity drawdown from the grid is about 14KWh per day (averaged over the year), and the solar system supplies an average of 4.6KWh (see chart above). That gives an average fraction of about one quarter of our electricity needs being supplied by the sun. That translates a saving of approximately $0.84 a day (at 18.3c/KWh). The system cost about $6000 ($4000 for the inverter, $2000 for the rebated solar panels, not counting the batteries, which are only for UPS protection), and will therefore pay for itself (assuming no increase in electricity costs, an unrealistic assumption) in about 25 years! But of course, we are also saving about 2.5 tonnes of greenhouse gas a year, (roughly) the equivalent of not driving our car anywhere for the year.
With recent rises in electricity costs (as predicted), here is the actual payback chart as at the beginning of 2014:
Date | Cost $/KWH | Amortised Cost | Break Even Date | Years to BE |
10 Sep 2003 | 0.13 | 6000 | 28 Feb 2031 | 27.5 |
12 Jun 2009 | 0.15 | 4743 | 6 Apr 2028 | 18.8 |
10 Feb 2010 | 0.183 | 4575 | 28 Dec 2024 | 14.9 |
12 Nov 2011 | 0.1995 | 4037 | 16 May 2025 | 13.5 |
18 Jan 2012 | 0.2156 | 3982 | 18 May 2024 | 11.0 | 1 Jan 2014 | 0.29 | 3304 | 11 Aug 2021 | 7.7 |
We also have a rainwater system consisting of two 2250 litre Plastanks, fed from the house roof, and pressurised by a 240v Onga Riva-Flo TF30 centrifugal pump. This pump delivers 30 litres/minute at 8 metres head, and is quite adequate for our purposes. Delivery is to two toilet cisterns, and to a garden watering system (8 solenoid operated outlets and 2 standpipes). The garden watering system is driven automatically by cron jobs running on the house computer.
The plastanks are supplemented by a 4000 litre 'wootank'. 'Wootanks' are tanks made of wood, and this one is home-constructed from 12mm plywood and 100x50 hardwood. The hardwood is used to build an 'exoskelton', and the plywood is used to make a box shape, lined with a pond pool liner. This tank captures water runoff from the rear of the house, while the plastanks capture water from the front of the house, and there is a 3m difference in height of the base of the tanks. A submersible pump, non-return valve and separate ball valve allow water to be transferred in either direction between the tanks. In addition, overflow from the upper (plas-)tanks is piped into the wootank. Overflow from the wootank tops up the garden ponds, and overflow from these goes to waste.
On the left is a plot of the water level in the rainwater tanks monitored electronically by means of a water-capacitance oscillator bridge. At the moment, only 1 tank is monitored, the system has been calibrated in terms of total plastank capacity. Full supply level of approx 4000-4500 litres is achieved by plumbing the overflow back into the tank through a 'snorkel' type fitting, which is adjustable. This allows the overflow level to be significantly about the fitted overflow outlet. Currently, it is set to minimum, since this extra head uses the domed section of the tank, which suffers from the problem that overflow in heavy rainfull conditions is non-linear, and the overflow in fact does not cope! You can see this in heavy rain conditions, as the level rises above the overflow, but drops back once the rain eases off. In really serious conditions, the tanks themselves overflow, which is not good!
Below is a plot of the same data as the left diagram, but drawn over 8 days, rather than 1.
For summer, we have an evaporative air cooler installed. At the moment, this is turned on and off manually, according to comfort. The purple line plots the outside dew point. This is the theoretical minimum achievable by the evaporative air cooling, and gives a guide to how effective the cooling will be when on. A high dew point equates to lots of humidity, and hence a loss of effectiveness of the cooler. Note that the dew point does not necessarily follow the outside temperature.

Found Iraqi Intelligence Bogus: Investigative Journalist
U.S. claimed that it found key documents among the rubble of the Iraqi intelligence building
WASHINGTON, April 30 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) – After the U.S. and Britain were shown to be providing bogus "intelligence" documents to the U.N. Security Council to proved Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program, the world's media is now being fed a steady stream of U.S.-found Iraqi "intelligence" documents from the rubble of Iraq's intelligence headquarters.
The problem with these documents is that they are being provided by the U.S. military to some of its "favored" reporters, Wayne Madsen, an American investigative journalist, wrote Wednesday, April 30, in the Online Journal.
"The Telegraph's April 27 Sunday edition reported that its correspondent in Baghdad, Inigo Gilmore, had been invited into the intelligence headquarters by U.S. troops and miraculously "found" amid the rubble a document indicating that Iraq invited Osama bin Laden to visit Iraq in March 1998," elaborated Madsen, author of the forthcoming book, "America's Nightmare: The Presidency of George Bush II."
He said Gilmore told the BBC that he noticed some "erased" information on the documents he discovered.
Gilmore said the erasures were apparently made with a combination of black marker ink and correction fluid, adding that he scraped away at the paper with a razor and "miraculously" found the name bin Laden in three places.
Dismissing the claims as "spurious," the investigative journalist said: "If one holds up such a sheet of paper at a 45 degree angle and under a bright phosphorescent light, the lettering under the ink can be 'read' because the lettering almost appears to be 'raised'."
"If a razor blade were used to scrape away the markings, the indelible ink and the toner ink would be obliterated. The standard procedure for redacting a classified document is to only use a black indelible marker to mask classified information," Madsen averred.
Face Saving
The American journalist said that the U.S. let favored journalists to walk freely about some of Iraqi government facilities, such as intelligence headquarters, to find any "shred" of paper that can be used in its smear campaign against Iraq but clamped water-tight security on other facilities, chief among which the oil ministry.
"The reason for this is obvious. While the intelligence building can be salted with phony intelligence documents, the Oil Ministry is likely rife with documents showing the links between Saddam Hussein and Dick Cheney's old firm, Halliburton.
"The company signed more than $73 million in contracts with Saddam's government when Cheney was its chief executive officer. The contracts, negotiated with two Halliburton subsidiaries—Dresser-Rand and Ingersoll Dresser Pump Co.—were part of the U.N. oil-for-food program," said Madsen.
He added that the reports about Cheney's "links" to Saddam Hussein's oil industry have been papered over by media sources, including ABC News, The Washington Post, and The Texas Observer.
The American investigative journalist said that America's propaganda channel, Fox News, featured the "found" document on its lead story on its Fox Sunday News program.
"Fox anchorman Tony Snow asked the ethically-tainted Iraqi National Congress leader Ahmed Chalabi about the document. Chalabi responded, saying the document provided enough information that Saddam Hussein was knowledgeable about the September 11 attacks on the United States," he said.
Smear Campaign
Madsen further said that the "found" documents were also aimed at tarnishing the image of some leading anti-war activists such as George Galloway, the famed British MP and member of Labor Party.
He said that the so-called documents "revealed" that "anti-Bush" Galloway had solicited hundreds of thousands of dollars from Iraq, which were skimmed from the country's oil-for-food program.
Madsen recalled that Galloway immediately smelled the rat of a disinformation campaign when he responded to The Telegraph about the "found" document.
"Maybe it's the product of the same forgers who forged so many other things in this whole Iraq picture . . . It would not be the Iraqi regime that was forging it. It would be people like you [Telegraph journalists] and the Government whose policies you have supported," Galloway said.
The American investigative journalist noted that the "smoking gun" document on Galloway was further played up on Fox News Sunday.
"William Kristol, a leader of the neo-conservatives, and Fox's Brit Hume, a right-wing ideologue, said the documents implicating Galloway in accepting money from Saddam Hussein were the 'tip of the iceberg,'" he said.
Fox also announced that Galloway may have given classified satellite imagery to al- Qaeda.
"As is so often the case, the Fox News panelists provided no evidence for their slanderous claims," said Madsen.
Octopus Media
Madsen also said that such newspapers like The Telegraph and channels like Fox News are taking advantage of their "octopus" sources to disseminate their right-wing propaganda "masked as news."
"To understand the process, it is important to understand the relationship between The Daily Telegraph and its parent company, the Hollinger Corporation, which is owned by British subject and former Canadian Conrad Black.
"Hollinger, Like Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, is a mega-media company that spins right-wing propaganda around the world through 379 newspapers, including the Jerusalem Post.
"Tom Rose, the publisher of the Jerusalem Post, is a major supporter of Ariel Sharon's Likud Party and is a favorite guest on the right-wing talk shows on Clear Channel radio stations, including that of G. Gordon Liddy of Watergate infamy.
"Clear Channel, headquartered in Dallas, is owned by close Bush supporters and one-time business partners. To add to the spider's web, one of Rose's Jerusalem Post directors is Richard Perle, a member of Donald Rumsfeld's advisory board," said Madsen.
"There is no right of rebuttal for the accused. They are guilty as charged by a whipped up public that gets its information from the telescreens of the corporate media," he added.

I will do ginput(4) so there will be four values.. Now when i clicking to extract this values at that time '+' point should be placed at clicked place in image so i can see how exactly i have clicked... I am clicking at corner of chessboard..

Actually quite a good interpretation of Mike Judge's little angels, Virtual Stupidity is fairly engaging and does feature all of the characters from the show, as well as unbelievable amounts of voice. It is rather picky of me to wish that the voice was more variable, performing a given action elicits only one response. It would have been nice if doing the same action twice could have produced a new result. This would have provided a replay value to the game.
Virtual Stupidity features some nice little antisocial arcade games, such as spitting on people from a great height or burning insects with a magnifying lens. Beavis and Butthead themselves are well represented, and are at their usual peak of mental verisimilitude.
Essentially, if you love Beavis and Butthead, if you 'get'
what the show is about, you will probably enjoy the game. If the
idea of piloting two useless, revolting piles of human excrement
about their daily aimless wandering fails to appeal to you, the
Virtual Stupidity will probably seem to Suck. Huh-huhhhhh Huh
Huh. Duh.

Ordeal by Innocence: Why There Should Be a Wrongful Incarceration/Execution Exception to Attorney-Client ConfidentialityColin MillerUniversity of South Carolina School of Law 2008 Northwestern University Law Review Colloquy, Vol. 102, p. 391, 2008 Abstract: In 1982, Alton Logan was convicted of first degree murder based upon being the trigger man in a robbery gone wrong at a Chicagoland McDonald's. What the jury who convicted Logan did not hear was that another man, Andrew Wilson, confessed to the crime Logan allegedly committed. The problem was that Wilson confessed to his attorneys, public defenders Dale Coventry and Jamie Kunz, who confirmed with the relevant authorities that they were bound by the rules of professional responsibility not to disclose their client's confession. Coventry and Kunz did prepare an affidavit detailing Wilson's guilt and in fact planned to come forward if Logan were given the death penalty. Ironically, two holdouts on the jury seemingly spared Logan's life by voting against capital punishment, but in fact dealt him the same fate that would befall the affidavit, being locked up (Logan in a prison cell; the affidavit in a lock box). Pained by pangs of guilt, the public defenders convinced Wilson to allow them to reveal his guilt after his death, resulting in Logan's eventual release from prison twenty-six years after he entered. How does such an injustice occur? Until recently, the Model Rules of Professional Responsibility prohibited an attorney from disclosing client information relating to a completed crime in which the attorney's services were not used, meaning that an attorney could not disclose that his client committed a crime for which another man was charged or convicted. And while the ABA amended Model Rule 1.6(b)(1) in 2002 to permit attorneys to reveal client information to prevent reasonably certain death or substantial bodily harm, the few commentators to address the issue have curtly concluded that this exception would still not apply to the wrongful incarceration scenario presented by the preceding example. Conversely, Massachusetts Rule of Professional Responsibility 1.6(b)(1) permits attorneys to disclose client information to, inter alia, prevent the wrongful execution or incarceration of another. This article argues that the 25 states which have adopted some form of amended Model Rule 1.6(b)(1) can and should read a similar wrongful incarceration/execution exception into their existing Rules while the remaining 24 states (and the District of Columbia) which have not adopted some form of amended Model Rule 1.6(b)(1) should create such an exception and can do so while causing less violence to the rationales behind attorney-client confidentiality than existing exceptions.
